i just realized something awesome about this music video. it's stereoscopic. you're supposed to look at it from a bit of a distance and cross your eyes so the left and right sections overlap. it becomes a whole different experience if you do that.

[@weezer-biggest-hater]

well now i look stupid

[@asma6667]

Earlier in the song I used the term "galvanistic," and galvanism is the concept, uh, the obsolete scientific theory that there is a kind of electricity flowing through our bloodstreams, and that was our life force. I used the term because I came across it in Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein", and that book is sort of an exploration of the theme of creating a character or making up a person. So I used the term "galvanistic" to allude to that book as a sort of symbol of how I, like, created you as a character, by pretending that I know a lot more about you than I actually do, and also to refer to the fact that I've fall-fallen in love with the characters you've created in, uh, your body of work. This is the part of the song where I start to regret writing it

[@gyroscope2181]

i guess he REALLY regretted writing it cause he changed it smh

[@rodrigotorres86]

J Sutton he changed it because "galvanistic" is not even a real word lmao

[@gyroscope2181]

Galvanistic is a real word, it's just obsolete.

[@rodrigotorres86]

It's not real fam. Even Will said that's why he changed it. The real word is "galvanic".

[@loutubesing3213]

I love how Will accidentally raps that first line to the beat lol

[@Peter-cs2is]

honestly the people that don't understand that car seat headrest loves to remake songs in totally different ways baffle me. he's been doing remakes since starving while living. i understand if it's not your cup of tea, but don't be surprised by such a change. will's flexibility is one of his greatest strengths as an artist and even if you don't like it, you should still be able to respect that

[@troy8420]

And what difference does it even make? The original still exists for them to listen to lol

[@gyroscope2181]

Technically he's been doing remakes as far back as 1 (Big Jacket originates from his previous band), and the current form of TF (the retconned "mirror to mirror") itself is a bunch of remakes, as it's the third version of most of those tracks. Will has always loved to do this kind of thing, where he'll take a track already released and change production elements or rerecord an instrument. It's what led to the guitar in the original My Boy being swapped out for a heavy bass.

[@kirared1984]

That’s true! It always takes me a little bit to get used to the remakes but I end up loving them just as much and belting them just as loud in the car at the end

[@Peter-cs2is]

J Sutton I think with the original twin fantasy being edited a few times even though it was released is a little different than reproduction a whole song. It's more like he found a typo in his writing or didn't like the way a phrase was said so he made quick changes to the overall piece. Not to say you're wrong, I just wouldn't consider those to be their own songs that have been remade

[@gyroscope2181]

Yeah, but stuff like My Boy got completely rerecorded.

[@cursedcanine]

gonna rant for a bit because i’ve never seen anyone talk about this but i love the way will switches from “art gets what it wants and art gets what it deserves” to “you’ll get what you want and you’ll get what you deserve” like he’s calling they themself a peice of art

[@squtnik]

I never noticed that. i love that

[@hambonefakenamington69]

wow thanks

[@himeruP]

for some reason the first time i heard this song, before i had read the lyrics, i convinced myself that he was saying "love gets what it wants and love gets what it deserves"

[@raeesah115]

He's calling themself?

[@AutumnsMaples]

but no one ever sang that well

exactly!!!! both mtm and ftf are so good and its kind of hard for me to compare them because they each have their own sort of charm to them

[@TheCrazyN00b1]

you can tell from the footage this is originally how he wanted it to sound like

[@toothlessthenightfury1695]

Nothing can beat Will's galvanizing dancing at 1:27

[@squonkydog6259]

That is almost the exact same dance I perform before beddy-byes at 10:31 pm on a frosty Tuesday night

[@ameerguitar145]

What is galvanism anyway If only he had explained it in the middle of the song

[@hannahshafer]

ameer mahdi lmaoooo

[@Takarafire]

Dental student here! This is what I learned about it in school: Galvanism describes the electric current between two dissimilar metals and can result in an unusual sensation in a patients mouth. An example to give would be if you had a a silver amalgam (A silver filling for your cavity) and a golden crown in your mouth, they both give you a shock if you bite down! Another easier example to picture would be when you chew on a little bit of aluminum foil and it touches a gold crown or amalgam filling. :)

[@Josie346]

Yh takarafire is right to an extent. From what I know of biology, galvanism is the contraction of muscles stimulated by electricity. You’ve probably read or heard of Frankenstein, galvanism was popularised by the novel and became associated with resurrection etc.

[@tremolo4202]

from the 2011 version of nervous young inhumans: "in the song I use the term 'galvanistic'. Galvanism is the concept…the obsolete scientific theory that there was a kind of electricity flowing through our bloodstreams and that was our life force.

god this song is so powerful?? it always puts me in such a good mood every time i listen to it and kinda reminds me what its like to be in love and what it can be like when you give yourself to someone who never shows you the real them, their inhuman. this seriously gives me such a rush. and cue the moshy dance session in my bedroom,,, *5 years later: this is the part of the song where i regret writing it

[@joelthomas4255]

Looking out for everybody. EPILEPSY WARNING. But also you should watch and listen it so good

[@samg3456]

This video is a whole new level of trip when you cross your eyes. When you align the images it does something that you could never do in a video editor. The frames overlap and your eye decides what's most important. When one side flickers, it feels like the input to one eye is going out. Hat domn.

[@J-l41]

Lyrics You should've seen my cursive back then Every letter was above the line My ps and qs raised their stems So nothing crossed beneath I'm a little better now You never lifted your voice You never raised your hand You never showed me your inhuman You understand Art gets what it wants and art gets what it deserves Most people are jokes but you're so real Most of the time that I use the word “you” Well you know that I'm mostly singing about you You swore you'd never use the face that your ex invented So let's meet up in uncanny valley You never lifted your voice You never raised your hand I only show you my inhuman You understand You'll get what you want and you'll get what you deserve You'll get what you want and you'll get what you deserve

[@FIDIOT-cringe]

What? I thought you kids these days didn't learn cursive!

[@quentinhardy1959]

Twin fantasy would be my favorite album of all time if not for the sound quality so the fact that this is happening is enough to make me think I won't listen to any other music all year

[@troy8420]

That's how I'm feeling. I really hope he does How to Leave Town at some point, but that might just be wishful thinking.

[@lucasjararamirez5285]

I think Twin Fantasy is my favourite album of all time in part because of the sound quality. Fits perfectly with the raw emotion and desperate sincerity

[@loutubesing3213]

Troy Hartmann HTLT is already much better in terms of production than monomania or twin fantasy, so I think i could live without a re-record for that one.

[@troy8420]

Actually just listened to it with headphones for the first time and you're totally right. I'd been listening to a copy my friend gave me on cd in my car and it seemed much more lo-fi than it is.

[@Rainbow_Quartz]

True, sound quality effects thing. Like I would love Kinks' Muswell Hillbillies if the recording was better and that's what Will did with his album (taking a lo-fi recording to higher quality by redoing it).

[@knic__8799]

everyone is complaining but this take brings a lot more energy and punch to the song that it needed

[@fleurpvnk108]

*but what about galvanism and frankenstein, will?!*

[@8bitheroics]

It's the single edit.

[@m_crowley6674]

He starts saying it at the end of the album version but it cuts off

[@olly9685]

he did an interview on his tumblr and said he cut out 'galvanistic' cos he found out it wasn't a word and the adjectival form is actually galvanic. also apparently there's a new, more stream-of-consciousness monologue on the album version which he replaces his old analysis one with- he said 'maybe it was time for a new monologue' and felt the old one wasn't rlly relevant to him anymore in the present, and didn't fit on the new album

[@quasiboy446]

"and this is the part of the song where i regret writing it"

[@Dani_London]

go on Car Seat's bandcamp to listen to the full version of this song. it includes the new monologue

[@ghoste_girll]

I think Will is a really cute guy 🖤 he gives off that shy/awkward guy type of vibe but yet a very lovable and sweet person. His music is so relatable nonetheless, he's a great musician
